Torture = loyal Republicanism and reliable conservatism

is torture what the "base" wants...? or are they simply outraged over someone who won't offer deaf, dumb, and blind support to bush 110% of the time...?
In a reprise of criticism showered on McCain during his 2000 campaign, some prominent conservatives are branding him a disloyal Republican and an unreliable conservative because of his assertiveness on the detainee issue.

equating torture with "reliable" conservatism and "loyal" republicanism may be one of the most appalling juxtapositions i have ever run across... don't you suppose there are REAL conservatives out there (as opposed to the stepford wives variety) that do NOT place their entire faith and conscience in an all-powerful, criminal president who thinks torture should be a part of u.s. policy...? you don't have to be democratic, progressive, or liberal to oppose torture, merely a reasonable, decent human being... if john mccain is reconsidering his alliance with the devil, more power to him...
